    I personally use mine as a music box together with a USB sound card for better audio quality than the onboard sound.

    I got one running rsnapshot, dns and httpd and another one with XBMC in the car...

  • They can make great door stops.

    He already answered what he does but just for the record nexmo is an awesome SMS and voice provider. They have numbers all over the world and their rates are fairly competitive with a very full API.

    I am a ignorant fool, I've never crossed with it. Super cheap, and mega easy to use, in 5 minutes I'm sending SMS and voice calls. Thanks!

    I use mine as a weather dashboard. It's connected to an indoor and outdoor sensor, as well as a few weather APIs. Every five minutes I update a Mongo collection on another server with the most up to date information.

    On another server I also have all sorts of different graphs, charts, and pages to visualize the current and past data.

    dafuq? owncloud is so unstable

  • Awesome stuff guys, keep it up!

  • Deluge for torrent + Samba for file sharing + minidlna for streaming with a physical "Do Not Touch" paper.......... but still, people still loves to see what it is and take it so I ended up adding a vibration sensor and buzzer so the buzzer buzzes when someone moves it ;)

    1 of them: PIR sensor for detecting intruders, and will play music if no one's home (so ppl may think there's people in the house). It also serves a Teeworld's server, and will control lights.

    the other one is with William

    The final one is a VPN server from my home connection

    how do you detect if there's nobody? I'm still wondering of what to do with my PIR sensor

    not to mention that you don't need to buy the gsm module, and a sim card for it which makes it even more cost effective ;)

  • is this raspi good for anything? I think a simple lowend vps beat the performance. Or not?

    um?? its a frgin killa machine, you usally buy a lowend VPS from external provider via WWW and you don't have some crazy virtualization @home going on.
    with 3,5watt (normal) till 5watt max (with external hub etc) its not much power costs..

    I use mine to control my other computers in the house, it uses Wake & Sleep on LAN to wake up my home NAS from the web where ever I happen to be, and allows me to put it to sleep again once I'm done with it.
